Frequently asked questions

What makes Terminal Ascent ammunition different from standard rifle rounds?

Terminal Ascent uses a bonded-core design with a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact. This construction maintains bullet integrity through bone and heavy muscle, reducing over-penetration and energy waste on game-sized targets.

Is 130 grains the optimal bullet weight for 6.5 Creedmoor hunting?

130 grains sits in the sweet spot for 6.5 Creedmoor, balancing velocity, trajectory, and terminal performance. It's suitable for medium-sized game and precision target work without excessive wind drift at extended ranges.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. Looking for gun store Hayward? Visit us in Sunnyvale.
